-- Posted by nearlyinsane at 5:32 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

only by like 10 pounds at the most. I'm about the same size as you both ways and my doctor told me that i was 5-10 pounds overweight. but it's nothing to worry about really.

By today's standards, yes.

Technically you're healthy.

No, I'm sorry dear, you should wiegh 130 with you're height.

im 5 feet tall and i weight 100 pounds


-- Posted by Dazzles at 5:37 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

I weigh 145 at 5'7.
And I dont feel like I look that much at all.
People usually guess me at 125-130,cause i have alot of muscle, which wieghs alot. and im tall and curvy,
So im sure your fine, and wiegh more than you look.
Its just a number

i weigh that and i'm 5'9"... unless you like work out a lot or whatever, you are a bit overweight.

btw your bmi is 26.6.  normal is 18.5 to 24.9 so it's not like you're hella fat or anything

i wouldn't trust bmi too much either.


-- Posted by Mlke at 5:41 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

Its fine.


-- Posted by StopXXwatch at 5:43 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

Definitely not. You need to lose like 10-15 pounds. But at the sametimeit could be muscle. I mean if your doubting if you're overweight it's probably just muscle! That's what I have I'm 5'7 142 pounds.


-- Posted by anc8469 at 5:54 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

I'm 5'6 and I'm 125 and I feel fat, but I have a very low self-esteem. Your not fat, without pictures we couldn't tell anyways. It could be muscle that is making you weigh more.

fine
